The current vase is particularly well painted and superbly potted
amongst vases of this type. A comparable pair is displayed in the
Chuxiu Gong, ‘Palace of Assembled Elegance’, in the Forbidden City,
indicating that impressive and elegantly decorated vases of this type
were made as display objects for the Imperial palace (fig. 1).

Vases of this shape and decoration were first made in the Yongzheng
reign. Refer for example to a Yongzheng-marked example in the
collection of Musée Guimet, Paris, illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu - vol.
15 - Qing Dynasty, Japan, 1983, p. 149, pl. 150.

A Qianlong vase of this pattern is illustrated in Geng Baochang,
Ming Qing ciqi jianding, Qingdai bufen, fig. 146. Another is included in
Selected Masterpieces of the Matsuoka Museum of Art, 1975, no. 102.

Compare also to a very similar Qianlong vase, sold at Sotheby’s Hong
Kong, 30 April 1991, lot 73, and again at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 5
October 2011, lot 1920.
